Metal replaces Stanislaw on Team Liquid

Lucas “steel” Lopes simply made one of the most unexpected roster moves of the year, as he will no longer be a part of the actual Immortals roster.

Metal is permanently replacing former in-game innovator Peter “stanislaw” Jarguz on the active Team Liquid roster, right after stanislaw was been successful by Nicholas "nitr0" Cannella as the primary shot caller previously this year. It’s not clear whether Liquid will transition into steel’s style of leading or if they’ll implement steel into nitr0’s calling system.

The news comes a month after a period of controversy surrounding Immortals' roster, as well as steel became the only remaining active gamer from the Immortals roster that placed 2nd at the PGL Major in July. The actual trio of Vito “kNg” Giuseppe, Lucas “LUCAS1” Teles, as well as Henrique “HEN1” Teles are expected to form a significant team with Legend status alongside Immortals inactive Lincoln “fnx” Lau and Team One support Bruno "bit" Lima. Ricardo “boltz” Prass, but went to SK Video gaming to replace João "felps" Vasconcellos.

The B razil star’s first event with the North American team will be at IEM Oakland, which operates from Nov. fourteen to 19 in Oakland, California. But he won’t be able to play with his new team for the Boston Major Qualifier in January 2018, since he already failed to qualify for the Americas Minor while contracted with Immortals. Fluid have opted in order to compete with their trainer Wilton "zews" Prado in the qualifier instead of bringing in stanislaw for your tournament, according to Fluid general Buy All CSGO Skins manager Dorrie Perino.

Liquid’s roster now consists of steel, nitr0, Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski, Josh “jdm” Marzano, and Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken. Stanislaw being moved to the bench additionally marks the end associated with his nine 30 days tenure with the team. Liquid did not explain Stanislaw’s future in its announcement.

“Steel is among the most professional player I understand. His positive attitude and skillset fit our needs perfectly and we are excited with what's in front of us, " zews said in the team’s roster announcement.
